Title: An Improved Method of using Electric Batteries for Supplying Lamps.
Filed: 1911-10-11
Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 22,441. Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron. May 24, [Convention date]. [Addition to 15,447/11.] Electrodes; electrolytes. - A miner's lamp is supplied by two dry cells at different stages of exhaustion connected in series, as described in the parent Specification, but in order further to diminish the voltage drop during use, the cells, which are now changed at the end of each working shift, are so selected that the sum of the shifts during which the cells have already been used is one less than the number of shifts for which a cell can be used; thus, a fresh cell and one which has been used eleven times may be taken if the life of each cell is twelve shifts. Preferably each cell after use is left idle for about 60 to 70 hours while it recovers; this may increase its life to sixteen shifts instead of twelve. After being left idle, a cell is tested by a voltmeter, which may indicate directly the number of shifts it has been used; it is then put in a receptacle numbered correspondingly. Cells are taken from two receptacles, the numbers on which add up to fifteen if the life of a cell is sixteen shifts.

Title: A New or Improved System for the Electrical Regulation of Clocks and the like.
Inventor: ARON LEONARD JAMES
IPC: G04C13/04
Filed: 1912-10-15
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 23,590. Aron, L. J. Oct. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Electric clocks.-Relates to a system of electric time-indicating devices in which two or more synchronized master-clocks are employed, each of which sends impulses in alternate directions to secondary clocks or to relays for the same; each secondary clock or relay receiving at every actuating instant or period two or more impulses in the same direction, one from each master-clock, only one impulse being effective. According to this invention, in conjunction with each masterclock there is a separate and independent network of conductors for all the secondary clocks or relays, so that a breakdown in any particular network does not affect the working of the system. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, comprising two master-clocks 1, 2, all the secondary clocks 14, 15 have two actuating-windings 16, 17, each of which has the same electro-magnetic effect, the windings 16 being included in the circuit of the masterclock 1, and the windings 17 being in the circuit of the master-clock 2. Fig.2 illustrates an arrangement in which relays 18 are substituted for one or more of the secondary clocks 14, 15, the relays having separate coils 19, 20, and each controlling a group of indicators 14. An example of a suitable form of relay in such a system is shown in Fig. 3. In this case, both windings 19, 20 are on a common core 21, between the poles of which a magnetized armature 25 is suspended, the member 25 being adapted to operate pairs of contacts 28, 29, to transmit alternating current-impulses to the indicators 14. The windings 19, 20 are respectively included in the separate circuits of the two masterclocks, and are so arranged that if an impulse through one coil is succeeded by an impulse in the same direction through the other coil, the movements of the armature 25 are alike in both cases ; two like impulses are therefore transmitted to the indicators 14, which are so constructed that only one actuation results. In modifications, the several windings of each relay may be upon separate cores arranged to influence a common armature, or the windings may be upon several cores, each having an armature forming part of a separate contact-device. The mechanism of the indicators in the system of Fig. 1 may be similar to that of the relays described.

Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 14,133. Shore, B., and Clark, C. T. June 18. Projectile fuses.-Consists in employing on a fuse-setting machine means for giving an audible or other sensitive indication each time the adjustable index - member of the machine registers with a division or subdivision of the setting-scale. The device is described as applied to the fuse - setting machine of Specification 13,756/14, which comprises a circular base a, Fig. 1, graduated around its periphery, and a rotary head d engaging an annular recess b in the base a. In a. peripheral groove f of the base slides a carrier g, with which moves an index plate k. This index may be clamped by a nut m opposite any desired graduation of the scale. To facilitate the setting of the index in the dark, a series of indentations is formed on the base a corresponding with the graduations on the setting-scale, and with these indentations a spring pin v, Figs. 7 and 8, carried by the index member g engages, so that each time the index plate k moves over a division of the setting-scale, a click which may be heard or felt occurs. When the index has been thus set, the fuse-setter is placed on the fuse and rotated until a stud n on the base a enters a recess on the fuse and locks the two together. On rotating the head d in a counterclockwise sense in the base, a stop p in an annular channel o in the interior of the head d engages the usual pin on the time-ring of the fuse. and rotates the ring until a projection q on the head d abuts against a stop r on the plate k. The fuse is then set. If the pin on the time-ring happens initially to rest at a graduation of the fuse scale higher than that to which it is to be set, a clockwise rotation of the head d will precede the counterclockwise rotation, so that the pin on the time-ring may be displaced by the reverse side of the stop p until it lies opposite a graduation lower than that to which it is to be set. An auxiliary index slide s may be mounted on the main slide k for fine adjustment, and a clicking-pin t operating similarly to the device v is mounted on this.
